Liverpool 4-1 West Ham United: 5 Talking Points

#3 Andy Robertson has become indispensable

Robertson has been consistently good

Yes, we need to talk about the Scot. There was a time when Liverpool, even when in form, struggled to deal with tight defences. Sadio Mane and Mo Salah need space at times, and the absence of good fullbacks sort of shackled them.

The reason is players like Robertson, who can stretch the play on the wide areas, provide players like Mane with more room to work with in the half spaces. While that is one of the ways Robertson has helped the team, the other is his ability to whip in a smashing cross.

His assist for Mane’s goal was sublime and if he keeps continuing that way, Alberto Moreno might struggle to get a look in.
